Overviews of EO & geospatial companies

• chrieke/awesome-geospatial-companies: the go-to list of 500+ geospatial companies, maintained by Christoph Rieke.
• Demystifying Earth Observation: The Multi-Billion Market* in Space Tech: an excellent article for making sense of the EO market, written by Aravind. The graphic above is taken from the article.
  • From GHG to ESG: Demystifying Earth Observation for Climate, also written by Aravind.
• ML for EO Market Map: clickable overview of companies related to ML and EO, by Radiant Earth Foundation.
• NewSpace Index: in particular the constellation tab is useful for making sense of the EO market.

Before you apply

• Listen to the MapScaping podcast, which has many relevant episodes.
  • Learn more about getting hired and getting where you want to go in your geospatial carreer.
  • Be visible and build your personal brand.
  • Perhaps you want to be self-employed, start a geospatial side-hustle, a consultancy, business or a startup.
• Book: ML Interviews: a must-read for data-related positions. However, the first half is fairly general and might benefit anyone looking for a job.
• Read Eric Jensen's how-to Twitter thread and listen to the Mapscaping episode on getting a geospatial job.

Notes

• This list is focused on commercial companies.
• Remote positions: Based on whether I saw remote positions advertised. Absence of "Yes" does not necessarily mean remote work is not possible.
